Notes

A letter to the editor of the Jewish Chronicle 04 Mar 1870: states that 'Mr Breslau stood forth as unpaid champion and defender of Judaisim' [extract] and 'surely such a man should have some simple memorial stone to mark out his last resting place. I would subscribe my mite towards it, yours truly I.L Levison.' [extract].

Mr Levison writes again in April 1870 to state that the funds have nearly been raised.
